Reno: those sayings should apply. I am concerned that we, as Americans, have fallen into a mindset that imported items should be low cost and high quality (because many have been). Retail now tends to be all about price competition. I guess we all know that one major electronic retailer fired all its knowledgable salespeople to cut costs. Even if you know enough to question products, there may not be anyone who can advise you. I feel privileged to have access to this forum, where such things are up for discussion.
